I have a different take. GW is not the bumbling idiot his political enemies want to believe. Remember the Harriet Meyers nomination? Perhaps, and I say perhaps, this is a test of our nations' will and fortitude to prevent such an occupation of our ports..........Frankly, I oppose the UAE doing this, despite they are a friend. On the other hand, there are those within their population that would blend in with any arab nation.........
"GW is not the bumbling idiot his political enemies want to believe."
He is not. But he is being ill-served as of the past two days.
I wonder what this thread would have said during when Nixon went to China. Not to draw comparisons completely.
